Zhang Ruochen continued: "If you really want to attack the Immortal Vampire Clan, you can't do it rashly. You must have a strict plan. It is best to join forces with the imperial court to minimize the losses of the Ancient Suppression Clan."
Shi Ren nodded and said: "It seems like, no matter whether they fight or not, the Zhenyu Ancient Clan will experience labor pains."
The place where Zhang Ruochen lives is called Beiwang Mountain.
There is a spiritual vein at the bottom of Beiwang Mountain. Therefore, the mountain is rich in spiritual energy and has 167 caves. Only distinguished guests of the Zhenyu Ancient Clan are eligible to enter Beiwang Mountain to practice.
The cave where Zhang Ruochen lives is located near the top of the mountain and is one of the caves with the most spiritual energy. There are two stone beasts guarding the gate and four maids at his disposal.
In the cave, there is a spiritual spring flowing, and there are defensive formations and spiritual gathering formations, as well as elixirs and elixirs. In general, Zhang Ruochen has indeed been treated like a sword-wielding person.
"Back then, Sword Master Xuanji came to the Pluto Sword Tomb and lived in this cave. Brother Zhang came to the Pluto Sword Tomb for the first time and rested for the night. Tomorrow, I will take you to pay homage to the ancestors of the Taotian Sword lineage."
After saying that, Shi Ren planned to leave.
"There is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."
After Zhang Ruochen thought about it again and again, he finally said it.
Shi Ren stopped, turned around, glanced at Zhang Ruochen, and asked, "Brother Zhang and I are life and death friends. If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."
"Wow -"? At this moment, Shi Ren flicked his finger, and a wisp of white holy energy surged out, activating the defensive formation in the cave.
In this way, no one can hear their conversation.
Zhang Ruochen said: "In the underworld, you should also know that the sixth prince of the Immortal Vampire Clan is my fourth senior brother, and we worship under the master together. Once, I overheard him mention that the Immortal Vampire Clan has obtained the Sixth Prince
One of the holy swords, but they don’t know which one they got?”
Shi Ren's expression suddenly changed and he said, "Is this true?"
All six holy swords are controlled by six sword holders, and all six sword holders are sword masters. It is extremely difficult for the undead vampires to obtain a holy sword.
However, if the undead vampires really get a holy sword and sneak into Hades' Sword Tomb, the harm caused will be immeasurable.
It was precisely for this reason that Shi Ren lost his composure.
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said: "I also know that this matter is of great importance, so I did not say it rashly. Of course, this matter has not been confirmed yet, and only you and I know about it now, so it is best not to alert the snake, so as not to
It's causing people to panic." After all, they still can't confirm whether the Undead Vampires have really obtained a holy sword? They don't even know which holy sword they have obtained?
If the news spreads, I am afraid that all six sword holders will be questioned or even ostracized by the Zhenyu Ancient Clan.
There is a conflict between the sword holder and the Ancient Zhenyu Clan, and the ultimate beneficiary must be the Undead Vampire Clan.
"At this time, it is really inappropriate to make this matter public. It must be investigated secretly."
Shi Ren's eyes were quite serious, and he was naturally aware of the seriousness of the situation, so he immediately left Zhang Ruochen's cave and hurried away.
"Internal and external troubles, the situation in Pluto's Sword Tomb is really difficult. And Pluto, who doesn't know life and death, is also a huge threat."
Zhang Ruochen let out a long sigh and released Xiaohei and Tunxiangtu from the picture scroll world, letting them leave the cave and enter the Pluto's Sword Tomb to find out the news.
Zhang Ruochen was sitting cross-legged in the cave, running the sixth level of the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra", absorbing the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and continuing to consolidate the realm he had just broken through.
At any time, your own strength is the most important capital.
Once your cultivation reaches the semi-saint realm, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth will indeed speed up a lot, but your cultivation speed will slow down.
Even for the Holy Body, it is quite normal to spend ten years to break through a small realm.
Of course, being able to cultivate to the semi-saint realm is already a huge achievement and can be said to be the pinnacle of life.
The people who continue to challenge the realm of saints are either crazy cultivators with extremely talented people, or heirs of aristocratic families with a lot of resources.
In other words, no matter how talented you are, the semi-saint realm is already your peak. If you want to reach the saint realm, the battle is no longer about talent, but about resources.
As an example:
Zhang Ruochen's talent is already quite incredible. Even if he is not the best in the world, he can still be ranked in the top three. However, if there is a lack of cultivation resources and he practices step by step, I am afraid that Zhang Ruochen will only be able to reach the ninth and a half level by the time he is two hundred years old.
The realm of saints can barely reach the realm of saints.
The talents of other monks are far inferior to Zhang Ruochen, and they have no chance to reach the realm of saints.
The resources spent to cultivate a saint are too huge. Even with the financial and material resources of many saints, they can only be used to cultivate two or three saints at most. Moreover, whether it can become a saint is still unknown.
Of course, Zhang Ruochen had great opportunities and no shortage of cultivation resources, so he could take shortcuts and improve his cultivation level quickly.
"From the early stage of the first-order semi-saint to the peak of the first-order semi-saint, you can improve your cultivation by refining the divine blood."
"When you reach the peak of the first-level semi-saint, you can purchase the Saint Yuan Dan to break through the realm."
"From the early stage of the first-order semi-saint to the early stage of the second-order semi-saint, it should take more than half a year at the fastest. If we add the assistance of the Qiankun Divine Tree, we should be able to break through to the second-and-a-half-level within two months.
Holy.”
Zhang Ruochen has a rough plan for his next training.
Then, he took out a drop of divine blood, held it between his hands, slowly started to absorb it by running the technique.
Divine blood is not only good for monks in the Fish and Dragon Realm, but also has endless benefits for semi-saints.
However, the reserves of divine blood in those medieval aristocratic families were too scarce, so they were reluctant to give them to half-saints for use.
Zhang Ruochen has no scruples. There is a pool of divine blood anyway. As long as he can improve his cultivation quickly, what if all the divine blood is exhausted?
By the middle of the night, Zhang Ruochen had completely absorbed a drop of divine blood into his body, and felt that his physical body's strength had increased a lot.
Some of the rules in the divine blood are integrated into the holy soul, making the rules of the holy path in the holy soul stronger.
Just after absorbing a drop of divine blood, Zhang Ruochen felt that his cultivation level had improved a lot.
More importantly, Zhang Ruochen only absorbed 20-30% of the power from a drop of divine blood, and there was still more power stored in his body.
"Practice the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, which should speed up the body and holy soul's absorption of divine blood."
Zhang Ruochen stood up, using his hands to prepare his palm skills.
Suddenly, at the gate of the cave, a blood-red spear penetrated the defensive formation, bursting out with a terrifying murderous aura, and stabbed towards Zhang Ruochen.
"boom!"
I saw a tumbling blood surging along with the spear.
Faintly, one could see that the owner of the spear was a three-meter-tall undead vampire with a pair of flesh wings on his back, wearing armor, with a green face and fangs, and looked extremely ferocious.
Zhang Ruochen's eyes darkened and he roared: "Transform into a dragon."
The ninth palm of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Palm.
Pieces of golden dragon scales emerged from Zhang Ruochen's palm, turning into an extremely sharp huge dragon claw, and struck forward.
At the same time, the five elements of chaotic energy emitted from the center of the dragon's claw, completely covering the claw.
"Boom."
The golden dragon claw collided with the tip of the spear, and a powerful energy flow exploded, impacting in all directions.
All the formation inscriptions in the cave emerged, emitting dazzling white light and blocking the energy flow.
Zhang Ruochen stepped back more than ten feet before regaining his balance. Even though he was guarded by the five elements of chaos, he felt a sharp pain in his palm.
"It's so powerful. He should be a strong man at the peak of the sixth level of semi-saint."
Zhang Ruochen stared at the blood cloud not far away and said, "The undead vampires were able to break in here, but they underestimated your power among the ancient clans that suppressed the prison. Tell me! How many lurkers do you have?"
The undead vampire holding a spear looked extremely cold and said: "Zhang Ruochen, you have been blocked in the cave. There is no chance of escaping. If you hand over the Monstrous Sword, I can keep your body intact."
"You didn't go to seize Xiang Zhengfeng's Heaven-Destroying Sword, but you came to seize my Taotian Sword. Do you really think I'm a soft persimmon? It's easy to control?"
Zhang Ruochen released his mental power and explored outside the cave.
Soon he discovered that there were two undead vampires with very powerful cultivation outside the cave.
However, the two undead vampires were holding formation disks and running formations, completely isolating the space where Zhang Ruochen's cave was located.
It was precisely because of the formation that the outside world didn't know that the Immortal Vampire Clan was assassinating Zhang Ruochen with the intention of seizing the Taotian Sword.
"You dare to speak harshly even when you are about to die."
The undead vampire took action again, turned into a blood shadow, and rushed towards Zhang Ruochen at the speed of lightning.
"The Blood God is here."
As the spear thrust out, a figure with six pairs of blood wings condensed behind the undead vampire. The blood-red spear exuded an icy death aura, causing the entire cave to be completely sealed by ice.
.
Zhang Ruochen naturally felt the huge pressure. He pushed his hands forward to activate the power of space and said in a deep voice: "Space collapses."
"Chi Chi!"
The space in front of Zhang Ruochen was like broken glass, with cracks appearing and collapsing inward, turning into a hole three feet in diameter.
The collapsed space formed a powerful devouring force, sweeping away all surrounding matter.
"Space power?"
The half-saint of the undead vampire clan exclaimed.
However, he was obviously well prepared, so he immediately stepped back the moment the space collapsed.
If Zhang Ruochen had not understood the rules of space in the past and had not broken through to the semi-saint realm, it might have been possible for him to escape.
As for now, Zhang Ruochen didn't want to give him a chance to escape.
"You still want to escape, how can it be so easy?"
Zhang Ruochen pushed his hands forward, and not far away, the collapsed space actually tore out three more cracks dozens of feet long, extending in front of the undead vampire half-saint.
